Israeli Parliament Backs Peace Plan
The Israeli Knesset voted 66 to 28 to back the government’s acceptance of the American 90 day cease fire and indirect peace talks with Arab states. Premier Golda Meir warned Israel would not return to 1967 borders but would withdraw to recognized lines after a peace agreement. Rebels and cross border fire continued as five Arab nations planned a Tripoli meeting despite Iraq’s boycott. Five Arab guerrillas were killed along the Lebanese and Jordanian borders and a major mortar attack hit Metulla, wounding teenagers.
